STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 2
HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1993
COA 8-204 A 114 S.E. 1st Street, Old School Square Historic
District. Sharon Leakey, Owner. James Chapman,
Contractor, Authorized agent.
BACKGROUND
This is a noncontributing ( 1947) single family home in the Old
School Square Historic district. It is located on the south
side of S.E. 1st Street, between S. Swinton and S.E. 1st Avenue
(east-bound bypass) .
The applicant is requesting approval to install a new driveway
and handicapped access ramp to accommodate her mother, who uses
a wheelchair.
The HPB heard COA 8-204 at its meeting of March 17, 1993 . The
location and design of the ramp proposed by the applicant was
not recommended by staff (see staff report for the March 17,
1993 meeting for details) . After the meeting was called to order
and the staff comments were made, the applicant and her
contractor, presented the HPB with a revised design for the
access ramp. The revised design differed considerably from the
design of COA 8-204, which was before the Board. It indicated a
paved parking or handicapped drop-off area in the R-O-W; staff
had not had the opportunity to review the new proposal. It was
decided that COA 8-204 should be postponed till the next meeting
in order to obtain staff comments.
The planning staff reviewed the new plan and concluded that the
paved parking in the R-O-W created an unsafe handicapped
drop-off area and that the ramp and access walkway were not
compatible to residential properties located in historic
districts. Richard Hasko, Asst. City Engineer commented that as
there was sufficient space to accommodate vehicular access
on-site he could not support the proposed plan (see attached
memo) .
ANALYSIS
On March 18, 1993 the applicant submitted a revised plan to
supersede the one which was presented at the March 17, 1993
meeting. This plan (COA 8-204 A) which is attached, proposes a
concrete driveway cut and apron and a parking area 12 ' 6" x 20"
and approximately 6 ' from the east property line. A 5' x 13 '
concrete walk runs from the southwest corner of the parking area
to the foot of the ramp. The ramp is parallel to the front
porch from east to west, the west being the top of the ramp.
The existing asphalt driveway on the west of the property is to
remain.
COA 8-204-A
114 S.E 1st Street
Page 2
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the existing driveway along the west side
of the property be utilized and widened to 15 ' . The additional
width will allow for better access by wheel chair from the
passenger side of the car than the 12 ' 6" which is proposed. The
ramp would run parallel to the porch from west to east with the
top of the ramp located to the east. This has the effect of
creating a larger parking and drop-off area and more direct
access to the ramp, while adding only a minimum number of square
feet of additional paving to the front yard.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Approve COA 8-204 A as presented.
2. Approve COA 8-204-A, subject to the conditions :
* That the existing driveway along the west side of the
property be utilized and widened to - .
* That a vertical railing be installed on the ramp and
that a hedge be planted and maintained to the height
of the railing.
3. Deny COA 8-204 A based on a failure to make a positive
finding to Section 4.5. 1(E) (7) , with respect to
compatibility standards of noncontributing buildings within
historic districts; and Section 4 .5. 1(E) (8) (f) , with
respect to the rhythm of entrance and porch projections.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve COA 8-204-A, subject to the conditions:
1. That the existing driveway along the west side of the
property be utilized and widened to 15' .
2 . That a vertical railing be installed on the ramp and
that a hedge be planted and maintained to the height
of the railing.

PLANNING TECH II
FROM: RICHARD C. HASKO, P.E. (\
ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: MARCH 22, 1993
SUBJECT: 14 S. E. 1ST STREET HANDICAP ACCESS FACILITY
I have reviewed the proposal for construction of a handicap
access ramp and paved swale drop-off area at the subject
location. It appears from the plan submitted that the required
wheelchair access and vehicular approach can be accommodated
completely on the applicant's property. Under this circumstance
we cannot support the paving proposal within the S.E. 1st Street
right-of-way which will create an improved on street parking
area.

STAFF REPORT
HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
APRIL 7, 1993
AGENDA ITEM 4
COA 8-183-A
60 PALM SQUARE
DAVID CLITTER, OWNER
CONTRIBUTING MAIN RESIDENCE AND ACCESSORY BUILDING;
NONCONTRIBUTING RENTAL COTTAGE, MARINA HISTORIC DISTRICT
ITEM B E FORE THE BOARD
The action before the Board is that of approval of COA 8-183-A
for a site plan and landscaping plan; and a request for a
recommendation to the City Commission regarding waivers from
certain landscape requirements. The site plan includes the
construction of a swimming pool, patios, walkways, a 4 ' high
wall to screen the pool, a fence to the south and 2 parking
areas to accommodate a total of 4 cars. The parking spaces will
have a pea rock surface and the driveway is to be paver block.
The parking area is located in the front of the property; 2
spaces to be provided on the north; and 2 spaces to the south.
BACKGROUND
The property consists of three buildings; a single family
Mission Revival style main house and accessory building built in
1928, and a rental cottage which is noncontributing. It is
located in the Marina Historic District in the RM zone. On June
17, 1992 the Historic Preservation Board approved COA 8-183 for
the exterior renovation of all three structures. The
nonconforming accessory building had been condemned by the City
when the applicant purchased the property. Upon recommendation
of the HPB, because of the historic nature of the accessory
building, the Chief Building Official allowed it to be
rehabilitated and brought up to code. The rental cottage is
currently vacant but the applicant wants to retain the option to
use it as an income producing unit; as a result, 4 on-site
parking spaces are required. The applicant had not completed his
site plan and landscaping design at the time of the 1992
meeting.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting special action from the HPB to
recommend to the City Commission that waivers be granted for
relief from certain landscaping regulations to allow the site to
be developed as presented on the site plan. The request for
waivers is as follows:
COA 8-183-A
60 Palm Square
Page 2
Perimeter landscaping adjacent to a public right-of-way (east) .
* Pursuant to Section 4 .6 . 16 (H) (3) (a) , a 5 ' landscape strip
between the parking area and a public right-of-way is
required. A waiver is requested to allow a 3 ' landscape
strip between the north and south parking areas and Palm
Square.
A 5' landscaping strip between Palm Square and the 2 south
parking spaces can be provided by moving the 4 ' high stucco wall
2 ' to the west. This will -not interfere with the location of
the proposed swimming pool as 4 ' are provided between the wall
and the pool and 3 of the 4 ' feet are devoted to a planter.
A 5 ' landscaping strip between Palm Square and the 2 north
parking spaces can be accommodated by moving the parking area 2 '
to the west. This will create a 7 ' foundation planting area as
opposed to the proposed 9 ' .
Perimeter landscaping abutting adjacent properties (north/
south) .
* Pursuant to section 4 .6 . 16(H) (3) (d) , a 5 ' landscape strip
between the parking spaces and abutting properties is
required. A waiver is requested to allow a 3 ' landscape
strip between the 2 parking spaces which abut the property
to the north and the 2 parking spaces which abut the south
property.
The required 5' landscaping buffer between south parking area
and the abutting property can be provided by reducing the length
of the parking spaces from to proposed 22 ' to the standard 18 ' .
In order to preserve to the visual impact of the unusual arched
front door and its decorative surround, it would be appropriate
to recommend the waiver to allow a 3 ' landscape buffer between
the 2 north parking spaces and the abutting property. The
additional 2 ' gained by granting the waiver will place the cars
out of the sight-line from the street to front entrance.
The applicant has provided a letter of justification and
explanation for the request, which is attached.
Parking and Landscaping
The basic parking configuration and design for the entrance
court is attractive and appropriate. Utilizing 2 parking areas
lessens the impact of a parking lot. The use of pea rock and
paver block is consistent with the residential character of the
COA 8-183-A
60 Palm Square
Page 3
neighborhood. The site plan calculations meet development
standards including the non-vehicular open space which provide
3, 115 square feet; 2,500 are required.
The 4 ' masonry wall which screens the pool is completely
compatible to the Mission style main building.
Extensive landscaping is provided throughout the site. However,
the only area which is a concern for the purpose of this review
is the proposed parking lot area. The landscape plan indicates
screening of the parking areas with a Cocoplum hedge. In order
to meet the requirement to provide shade trees every 30 ' on
center adjacent to the right-of-way [Section 4 .6 . 16(H) (3) (a) ] ,
the pigeon plum tree at the southeast corner of the site will
need to be located further to the north and an additional tree
will need to be provided within the landscape strip adjacent to
the existing Coconut Palm. Pursuant to Section 4 .6 . 16(H) (4) (b) ,
sod and irrigation must be provided within the unpaved portion
of the right-of-way, between the edge of pavement and the east
property line. This has not been indicated on the plan.
ALTERNATIVE ACT I O N S
Waivers
1. Recommend to the City Commission approval of the waivers to
LDR Sections 4.6 . 16(H) (3) (a) and 4 .6 . 16 (H) (3) (d) , based on
a positive finding from Section 4 .5. 1, that all of the
requested waivers are necessary to maintain the historic
character of the main residence and its relation to the
streetscape.
2. Recommend to the City Commission denial of the waiver
requests to Section 4 .6 . 16(H) (3) (a) and 4 .6. 16(H) (3) (d) ,
based on a failure to make a positive finding with respect
to Section 4 .5. 1.
3. Recommend to the City Commission that a waiver from Section
4 .6. 16(H) (3(d) , which requires a 5 ' landscape strip between
parking spaces and abutting properties be granted for the
north parking area.
Site Plan and Landscaping Plan
1. Continue with direction
2 . Approve COA 8-183-A and the associated site plan, landscape
plan and pursuant to Section 4.9 .6(D) (8) (a) approve the use

3. Deny COA 8-183-A and the associated site plan, landscape
plan and pursuant to Section 4.9 .6(D) (8) (a) deny the use of
a pea rock parking surface for 4 parking spaces and the use

Historic Preservation Board
City of Delray Beach
••1 00 N.W. 1st Avenue
Delray Beach , Fl =3444
Subject: Waiver Support Action Requested for Property at 60 Palm
Square
A preliminary site hardscape plan has been submitted to the
Planning Department for review and- the results relayed to me by
Pat Cayce. I believe that all items needed to be considered have
been addressed and that the plan is now ready for review and ap-
proval by the Department , with one exception.
When I retained the landscape architect and gave them my require-
ments for the hardscape and landscape plan , we discussed the need
for the total plan to complement the aesthetics of this Mediter-
ranean Revival-style historic house. As a result , the plan allows
only for a 3-foot landscape strip between the public right-of-way
and the parking areas, and between the abutting properties and
the parking areas. Because the code requires 5-foot landscaping
• strips, I have been informed that I will need a waiver granted by
the City Commissioners for the plan to be approved in its present
form by the Planning Department and for a permit to be issued. I
am therefore requesting that the Historic Preservation Board
agree that meeting the code would impact detrimentally on the
overall aesthetics of the property, and support the waiver re-
quest by recommending to the Commission that the it be approved.
This request is based on the consideration that a major function
of the •front area of a property is to show the house to the best
advantage of passers-by. This function becomes an important goal
when the house is historic and when the purpose of developing and
landscaping . this "public" area is to enhance the architectural
style and design of the house, while maximizing its overall aes•--
thetic_s.
A challenge was presented to the landscape architect because the
property is a duplex and related codes apply. (A small efficiency
apartment , separate from the man house, was rented when I pur-
chased the property. It is no longer rented , and while I probably
will not rent it after I move in to the house, I want to retain
the option to do so again. ) Among these codes is the requirement
to provide off-street parking space for four cars. Grouping four
cars together in one parking area and thereby creating a parking
lot appearance would certainly not be acceptable aesthetically.
The architect therefore provided parking areas for two cars each
at the north and south sides of the property. This arrangement
also allows the driveway entrances to serve as walks leading
directly to the front door and to the pool deck gate.
y
`
k
"
To position the two cars in the north parking area as far From
the house as possible and to allow for a full range of planting
that would show the house to best advantage, the architect needed
to use every possible foot of space around the parking areas.
They therefore included the use of two feet of the five-foot
landscape strips required by the code. Without the use of this
space, the north parking area would have to be positioned start-
ing at the corner of the front steps. The cars then would be
parked almost entirely in front of the large, architecturally
important north front window. Visually, this parking area would
then unnecessarily crowd the house and the cars would clearly be
a distraction to viewing its overall symmetry of design , an
architectural feature of this house.
Also, the resulting loss of planting space adjacent to the house
would cause crowded planting , the softening effect of the rounded
bed corners would be lost , the planting bed south of the front
steps could no longer wrap around the pool deck wall , and the two
' planting beds and front steps would be aligned creating one
uninteresting unit across the entire front of the house. If the
pool deck wall is relocated two feet to the west as a part of a
solution to satisfying the code requirement , the wall would
extend this alignment.
To offset any possible detrimental impact this waiver could cause
to the City or to the abutting properties, there would be four-
foot-high hedges between the north and south parking areas and
the abutting properties. Also, since there is a six-foot-wide
city swale between the street and the property, I would landscape
whatever portion of this area the City would prefer with City-
approved planting that would complement the planting as planned.
This could result in a nine-foot landscaped strip between the
parking areas and the public right-of-way, and a twelve-foot-wide
landscaped strip in the center area (street parking in front of
this property is prohibited) .
This Mizner-style historic property will be seen by the public
passers-by as a single-family residence, not as a duplex . It will
be my home. The fact that it is a duplex should not causa the
site plan to be changed in a manner that would unnecessarily
compromise the overall appearance of the property. Granting this
waiver will allow the property 's aesthetics to be maximized and
the house to be shown to best advantage. Delray Beach is recog-
nized as a small sample of old Florida, and I am proceeding with
the renovation of this property so that it will contribute to
this recognition. I hope that the Board and the City Commission-
ers agree that the plan as developed is in the public interest '
Respectfully Submitted ,
David A. Clitter
